A Note on " Technomyrmex Albipes". 



BY O. I[. SWEZKY. 



Recently in looking over some nnarranged material, I canv 

 across specimens of this ant collected at several widely separated 

 localities in in Hawaii. At Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, May 11, 

 1911, I fonnd a nest of them in the stem of a dead fron,l of a 

 tree fern, growing in a gnlch. At Kilanea, Kanai, Jnly 14, 

 1911, bnt with no circnmstances of collection. At Hannla, 

 Oahn, August 9, 1913, taken on leaves of a mountain apple tree 

 in a gulch. The only other records of capture of this ant in Ha- 

 waii are by Mr. Ehrhorn at Maunawili, Oahn, April 13, 1912, 

 (recorded on page 237 of Vol. ^I, Proceedings of the Hawaiian 

 Entomological Society) and at Mr. Gartley's, Kuuanu Valley, 

 August, 1913. Apparently the species has been established for 

 several years and widely spread already. JNIy specimens were 

 taken incidentally, no special attention being given to ants at 

 the time. 



FEBRUAEY 5th, 1914.
